78eb4ea25c sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers
const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function
signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table
structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function
pointers cannot be modified.

* The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified.
  This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into
  another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the
  proc_handler migration.

91b6163be4 sysctl changes for v6.10-rc1
Summary
 * Removed sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
 
   Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
   runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for net/, io_uring/,
   mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline through their respective
   subsystems making the next release the most likely place where the final
   series that removes the check for proc_name == NULL will land. This PR adds
   to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
 
 * Adjusted ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
 
   Adjustments:
     - Removing unused ctl_table function arguments
     - Moving non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
     - Making ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
 
   Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by keeping the
   pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no ctl_tables where
   made const in this PR, the ground work for making that possible has started
   with these changes sent by Thomas Weißschuh.
 
 Testing
 * These changes went into linux-next after v6.9-rc4; giving it a good month of
   testing.

To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the

One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.

2cb5c86839 sysctl changes for v6.9-rc1
I'm sending you the sysctl pull request after following Luis' suggestion to
 become a maintainer. If you see that something is missing, get back to me with
 how to improve and I'll include your feedback in the following PRs.
 
 Here is a summary of the changes included in this PR:
 * New shared repo for sysctl maintenance
 * check-sysctl-docs adjustment for API changes by Thomas Weißschuh
 
 This is a non-functional PR. Additional testing is required for the rest of the
 pending changes. Future kernel pull requests will include the removal of the
 empty elements (sentinels) from sysctl arrays in the kernel/, net/, mm/ and
 security/ dirs. After that, the superfluous check for procname == NULL will be
 removed. And the push to avoid bloating the kernel as these arrays move out of
 kernel/sysctl.c will be completed.
 
 Even though Thomas' changes went into sysctl-next after v6.8-rc5 (3 weeks in
 linux-next), I include them as they contained no functional changes and
 therefore have little chance of resulting in an error/regression. Finally the
 new shared repo is now picked up by linux-next and is the source for upcoming
 sysctl changes.

50ec499b9a sysctl: allow change system v ipc sysctls inside ipc namespace
Patch series "Allow to change ipc/mq sysctls inside ipc namespace", v3.

Right now ipc and mq limits count as per ipc namespace, but only real root
can change them.  By default, the current values of these limits are such
that it can only be reduced.  Since only root can change the values, it is
impossible to reduce these limits in the rootless container.

We can allow limit changes within ipc namespace because mq parameters are
limited by RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE and ipc parameters are not limited to anything
other than cgroups.


This patch (of 3):

Rootless containers are not allowed to modify kernel IPC parameters.

All default limits are set to such high values that in fact there are no
limits at all.  All limits are not inherited and are initialized to
default values when a new ipc_namespace is created.

For new ipc_namespace:

size_t       ipc_ns.shm_ctlmax = SHMMAX; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
size_t       ipc_ns.shm_ctlall = SHMALL; // (ULONG_MAX - (1UL << 24))
int          ipc_ns.shm_ctlmni = IPCMNI; // (1 << 15)
int          ipc_ns.shm_rmid_forced = 0;
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmax = MSGMAX; // 8192
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmni = MSGMNI; // 32000
unsigned int ipc_ns.msg_ctlmnb = MSGMNB; // 16384

The shm_tot (total amount of shared pages) has also ceased to be global,
it is located in ipc_namespace and is not inherited from anywhere.

In such conditions, it cannot be said that these limits limit anything. 
The real limiter for them is cgroups.

If we allow rootless containers to change these parameters, then it can
only be reduced.

bff97cf11b sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table
We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and
its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at
the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in
this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size
is available when the removal occurs.

We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust
callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call
to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in
order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network
register calls.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

As Eric Biederman pointed out, it is possible not to use a custom

.permission handler. That will allow the checkpoint_restart sysctls to
perform all of their permission checks at open time, and not need any
other special code.

0e9beb8a96 ipc/ipc_sysctl.c: remove fallback for !CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL
Compilation of ipc/ipc_sysctl.c is controlled by
obj-$(CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL)
[see ipc/Makefile]

And CONFIG_SYSVIPC_SYSCTL depends on SYSCTL
[see init/Kconfig]

An SYSCTL is selected by PROC_SYSCTL.
[see fs/proc/Kconfig]

Thus: #ifndef CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL in ipc/ipc_sysctl.c is impossible, the
fallback can be removed.

5563cabdde ipc: check checkpoint_restore_ns_capable() to modify C/R proc files
This commit removes the requirement to be root to modify sem_next_id,
msg_next_id and shm_next_id and checks checkpoint_restore_ns_capable
instead.

Since those files are specific to the IPC namespace, there is no reason
they should require root privileges.  This is similar to ns_last_pid,
which also only checks checkpoint_restore_ns_capable.

fff1662cc4 ipc: adjust proc_ipc_sem_dointvec definition to match prototype
Commit 32927393dc ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer.  Adjust the
signature of proc_ipc_sem_dointvec to match ctl_table.proc_handler which
fixes the following sparse error/warning:

  ipc/ipc_sysctl.c:94:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)

32927393dc sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler
Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which
is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and
from  userspace in common code.  This also means that the strings are
always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit
safer.

As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers
a lot of the changes are mechnical.

eec4844fae proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range.  This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.

On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.

The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:

    $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
    248

Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

This is the bloat-o-meter output comparing the old and new binary
compiled with the default Fedora config:

99db46ea29 ipc: do cyclic id allocation for the ipc object.
For ipcmni_extend mode, the sequence number space is only 7 bits.  So
the chance of id reuse is relatively high compared with the non-extended
mode.

To alleviate this id reuse problem, this patch enables cyclic allocation
for the index to the radix tree (idx).  The disadvantage is that this
can cause a slight slow-down of the fast path, as the radix tree could
be higher than necessary.

To limit the radix tree height, I have chosen the following limits:
 1) The cycling is done over in_use*1.5.
 2) At least, the cycling is done over
   "normal" ipcnmi mode: RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE elements
   "ipcmni_extended": 4096 elements

Result:
- for normal mode:
	No change for <= 42 active ipc elements. With more than 42
	active ipc elements, a 2nd level would be added to the radix
	tree.
	Without cyclic allocation, a 2nd level would be added only with
	more than 63 active elements.

- for extended mode:
	Cycling creates always at least a 2-level radix tree.
	With more than 2730 active objects, a 3rd level would be
	added, instead of > 4095 active objects until the 3rd level
	is added without cyclic allocation.

For a 2-level radix tree compared to a 1-level radix tree, I have
observed < 1% performance impact.

Notes:
1) Normal "x=semget();y=semget();" is unaffected: Then the idx
  is e.g. a and a+1, regardless if idr_alloc() or idr_alloc_cyclic()
  is used.

2) The -1% happens in a microbenchmark after this situation:
	x=semget();
	for(i=0;i<4000;i++) {t=semget();semctl(t,0,IPC_RMID);}
	y=semget();
	Now perform semget calls on x and y that do not sleep.

3) The worst-case reuse cycle time is unfortunately unaffected:
   If you have 2^24-1 ipc objects allocated, and get/remove the last
   possible element in a loop, then the id is reused after 128
   get/remove pairs.

Performance check:
A microbenchmark that performes no-op semop() randomly on two IDs,
with only these two IDs allocated.
The IDs were set using /proc/sys/kernel/sem_next_id.
The test was run 5 times, averages are shown.

1 & 2: Base (6.22 seconds for 10.000.000 semops)
1 & 40: -0.2%
1 & 3348: - 0.8%
1 & 27348: - 1.6%
1 & 15777204: - 3.2%

Or: ~12.6 cpu cycles per additional radix tree level.
The cpu is an Intel I3-5010U. ~1300 cpu cycles/syscall is slower
than what I remember (spectre impact?).

V2 of the patch:
- use "min" and "max"
- use RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE * RADIX_TREE_MAP_SIZE instead of
	(2<<12).

5ac893b8cb ipc: allow boot time extension of IPCMNI from 32k to 16M
The maximum number of unique System V IPC identifiers was limited to
32k.  That limit should be big enough for most use cases.

However, there are some users out there requesting for more, especially
those that are migrating from Solaris which uses 24 bits for unique
identifiers.  To satisfy the need of those users, a new boot time kernel
option "ipcmni_extend" is added to extend the IPCMNI value to 16M.  This
is a 512X increase which should be big enough for users out there that
need a large number of unique IPC identifier.

The use of this new option will change the pattern of the IPC
identifiers returned by functions like shmget(2).  An application that
depends on such pattern may not work properly.  So it should only be
used if the users really need more than 32k of unique IPC numbers.

This new option does have the side effect of reducing the maximum number
of unique sequence numbers from 64k down to 128.  So it is a trade-off.

The computation of a new IPC id is not done in the performance critical
path.  So a little bit of additional overhead shouldn't have any real
performance impact.

8c81ddd2ac ipc: IPCMNI limit check for semmni
For SysV semaphores, the semmni value is the last part of the 4-element
sem number array.  To make semmni behave in a similar way to msgmni and
shmmni, we can't directly use the _minmax handler.  Instead, a special sem
specific handler is added to check the last argument to make sure that it
is limited to the [0, IPCMNI] range.  An error will be returned if this is
not the case.

6730e65801 ipc: IPCMNI limit check for msgmni and shmmni
Patch series "ipc: IPCMNI limit check for *mni & increase that limit", v9.

The sysctl parameters msgmni, shmmni and semmni have an inherent limit of
IPC_MNI (32k).  However, users may not be aware of that because they can
write a value much higher than that without getting any error or
notification.  Reading the parameters back will show the newly written
values which are not real.

The real IPCMNI limit is now enforced to make sure that users won't put in
an unrealistic value.  The first 2 patches enforce the limits.

There are also users out there requesting increase in the IPCMNI value.
The last 2 patches attempt to do that by using a boot kernel parameter
"ipcmni_extend" to increase the IPCMNI limit from 32k to 8M if the users
really want the extended value.

This patch (of 4):

A user can write arbitrary integer values to msgmni and shmmni sysctl
parameters without getting error, but the actual limit is really IPCMNI
(32k).  This can mislead users as they think they can get a value that is
not real.

The right limits are now set for msgmni and shmmni so that the users will
become aware if they set a value outside of the acceptable range.

0050ee059f ipc/msg: increase MSGMNI, remove scaling
SysV can be abused to allocate locked kernel memory.  For most systems, a
small limit doesn't make sense, see the discussion with regards to SHMMAX.

Therefore: increase MSGMNI to the maximum supported.

And: If we ignore the risk of locking too much memory, then an automatic
scaling of MSGMNI doesn't make sense.  Therefore the logic can be removed.

The code preserves auto_msgmni to avoid breaking any user space applications
that expect that the value exists.

Notes:
1) If an administrator must limit the memory allocations, then he can set
MSGMNI as necessary.

Or he can disable sysv entirely (as e.g. done by Android).

2) MSGMAX and MSGMNB are intentionally not increased, as these values are used
to control latency vs. throughput:
If MSGMNB is large, then msgsnd() just returns and more messages can be queued
before a task switch to a task that calls msgrcv() is forced.

Negative message lengths make no sense -- so don't do negative queue
lenghts or identifier counts. Prevent them from getting negative.

Also change the underlying data types to be unsigned to avoid hairy
surprises with sign extensions in cases where those variables get
evaluated in unsigned expressions with bigger data types, e.g size_t.

In case a user still wants to have "unlimited" sizes she could just use
INT_MAX instead.

03f5956680 ipc: add sysctl to specify desired next object id
Add 3 new variables and sysctls to tune them (by one "next_id" variable
for messages, semaphores and shared memory respectively).  This variable
can be used to set desired id for next allocated IPC object.  By default
it's equal to -1 and old behaviour is preserved.  If this variable is
non-negative, then desired idr will be extracted from it and used as a
start value to search for free IDR slot.

Notes:

1) this patch doesn't guarantee that the new object will have desired
   id.  So it's up to user space how to handle new object with wrong id.

2) After a sucessful id allocation attempt, "next_id" will be set back
   to -1 (if it was non-negative).

b34a6b1da3 ipc: introduce shm_rmid_forced sysctl
Add support for the shm_rmid_forced sysctl.  If set to 1, all shared
memory objects in current ipc namespace will be automatically forced to
use IPC_RMID.

The POSIX way of handling shmem allows one to create shm objects and
call shmdt(), leaving shm object associated with no process, thus
consuming memory not counted via rlimits.

With shm_rmid_forced=1 the shared memory object is counted at least for
one process, so OOM killer may effectively kill the fat process holding
the shared memory.

It obviously breaks POSIX - some programs relying on the feature would
stop working.  So set shm_rmid_forced=1 only if you're sure nobody uses
"orphaned" memory.  Use shm_rmid_forced=0 by default for compatability
reasons.

The feature was previously impemented in -ow as a configure option.

It's unused.

It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl

As pointed out by Cedric Le Goater (in response to Alexey's original
comment wrt mqns), ipc_sysctl.c and utsname_sysctl.c are using
CONFIG_PROC_FS, not CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, to determine whether to define
the proc_handlers.  Change that.

9eefe520c8 ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing
This patch proposes an alternative to the "magical
positive-versus-negative number trick" Andrew complained about last week
in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/24/418.

This had been introduced with the patches that scale msgmni to the amount
of lowmem.  With these patches, msgmni has a registered notification
routine that recomputes msgmni value upon memory add/remove or ipc
namespace creation/ removal.

When msgmni is changed from user space (i.e.  value written to the proc
file), that notification routine is unregistered, and the way to make it
registered back is to write a negative value into the proc file.  This is
the "magical positive-versus-negative number trick".

To fix this, a new proc file is introduced: /proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni.
This file acts as ON/OFF for msgmni automatic recomputing.

With this patch, the process is the following:
1) kernel boots in "automatic recomputing mode"
   /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni contains the value that has been computed (depends
                           on lowmem)
   /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni contains "1"

2) echo <val> > /proc/sys/kernel/msgmni
   . sets msg_ctlmni to <val>
   . de-activates automatic recomputing (i.e. if, say, some memory is added
     msgmni won't be recomputed anymore)
   . /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni now contains "0"

3) echo "0" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
   . de-activates msgmni automatic recomputing
     this has the same effect as 2) except that msg_ctlmni's value stays
     blocked at its current value)

3) echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/automatic_msgmni
   . recomputes msgmni's value based on the current available memory size
     and number of ipc namespaces
   . re-activates automatic recomputing for msgmni.

6546bc4279 ipc: re-enable msgmni automatic recomputing msgmni if set to negative
The enhancement as asked for by Yasunori: if msgmni is set to a negative
value, register it back into the ipcns notifier chain.

A new interface has been added to the notification mechanism:
notifier_chain_cond_register() registers a notifier block only if not already
registered.  With that new interface we avoid taking care of the states
changes in procfs.

Make msgmni not recomputed anymore upon ipc namespace creation / removal or

As soon as msgmni is explicitly set via procfs or sysctl(), the associated

ae5e1b22f1 namespaces: move the IPC namespace under IPC_NS option
Currently the IPC namespace management code is spread over the ipc/*.c files.
I moved this code into ipc/namespace.c file which is compiled out when needed.

The linux/ipc_namespace.h file is used to store the prototypes of the
functions in namespace.c and the stubs for NAMESPACES=n case.  This is done
so, because the stub for copy_ipc_namespace requires the knowledge of the
CLONE_NEWIPC flag, which is in sched.h.  But the linux/ipc.h file itself in
included into many many .c files via the sys.h->sem.h sequence so adding the
sched.h into it will make all these .c depend on sched.h which is not that
good.  On the other hand the knowledge about the namespaces stuff is required
in 4 .c files only.

Besides, this patch compiles out some auxiliary functions from ipc/sem.c,
msg.c and shm.c files.  It turned out that moving these functions into
namespaces.c is not that easy because they use many other calls and macros
from the original file.  Moving them would make this patch complicated.  On
the other hand all these functions can be consolidated, so I will send a
separate patch doing this a bit later.

0b4d414714 [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
